I'm really just starting this thread because I like to have a home to hang out in. Battle logs are just not the same. This is going to be a bit of a weird challenge. In 10 days I'm flying out to San Francisco to go to Burning Man! For anyone unfamiliar with BM here's a nice little video: After BM I'm flying down to LA for a few days, then back to Sweden, then BACK to the US for a conference in Boston 10 days laters. I'll stay there for about 10 days (hey look at that) then another 10ish days before traveling down to my parents' place in Sweden for a GMB workshop. PHEW! I'm tired just typing that out! I've already lost any semblance of a routine in the last month or two, first because of injury, then because of visiting friends, and now because I'm deep into preparations for Burning Man. This challenge is going to be a token effort to at least not mess up my body more than necessary. Goal #1: Hydrate! This is going to be super important in the desert. I'm a terrible drinker of water, I forget to drink very easily and while most times it's ok (even though I do tend to slip into light dehydration mode on a semi-regular basis to be honest) it's going to be CRUCIAL to drink enough in the desert. So I need to start getting used to it now. I'm going to aim to drink 2.5 liters of water per day until I leave and then drink even more in the desert. Since I know I'll be doing a lot of flying (and boozing) even after BM I'm going to keep the goal when I get back but with a new baseline. Goal #2: Move! This is going to be lamest training goal ever. Move for at least 15 minutes every day. Any type of movement or maintenance work is ok. But max one lying on the floor passive stretch. Plus points if it's a GMB friendly activity. Go for at least one long walk per week. Do strengthy work 3x/week (ish). It doesn't even have to be all in one day. But 3 sets of pull, push, legs, core and some kind of armbalance or inversion. Except when I'm at Burning man, then the "goal" is to explore, mess around on the artwork, play and dance. Goal #3: Don't get fat With all the travel my eating is going to get weird. That's ok. But getting fatter is not ok, I'm already at the very high end of comfortable. This is a very vague goal, but basically: Don't eat like a jerk. Eat more veggies and fruit. WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
